A premium, multi-hour podcast that deconstructs the history, business mechanics, and defining eras of the world’s most iconic sports teams.

The Problem: You’ve almost certainly heard of Acquired, the decade-old podcast where Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal deliver multi-hour breakdowns of the business histories of some of the greatest companies ever to be built. It’s great. But something you may not know about the podcast is that it’s a money-printing machine. Harvard Business School ran a case study on the podcast (which we bought by the way), and the numbers are staggering. 1 million listeners per episode. >$10M in revenue per year (sponsoring a season of the podcast costs $1.5M). Clearly, their format works, which begs the question - why aren’t more people adopting this “Conversational Storytelling” format for other verticals? That’s not even my question; it’s Ben’s. We think someone should. Here’s what we’re thinking.

The Problem: I don’t know about you, but I love staying in hotels. There’s something special about room service, buffet breakfasts, and wearing a fancy robe while pretending I’m rich. It’s the good life. However, there is one thing that really bothers me about hotels: getting simple answers to straightforward questions. For instance, "What time does the pool close?", "Can I get extra towels?", or "Where's the nearest pharmacy?" Every time I have a question, I either have to call the front desk and wait on hold or awkwardly walk downstairs to find the answer. Hotels have attempted to address this with apps, but I don't want to download an app for just a two-night stay (and I don’t think many people do). We believe there’s a better solution. Here’s what we’re considering.

The Idea: An AI-driven digital hotel concierge that answers guests’ questions, allows them to interface with staff and helps them to explore local experiences during their stay.

Product:

  • Guests scan a QR code in the lobby or room to instantly launch the interface in their browser - no downloads, no logins, just immediate access.

  • An AI Chat interface (fine-tuned on local data) answers questions like "Where can I get vegan pizza right now?" or "I need extra towels," instantly routing service requests to staff and dining/activity recommendations to booking engines.

  • A built-in "Experience Marketplace" also allows guests to book local tours, spa treatments, or late check-outs with one click using Apple Pay or Google Pay, with the revenue split between the vendor and the hotel.

The Problem: Every year, a few standout toys become viral sensations - and parents everywhere lose their minds trying to snag one. This year's breakout? Stickerbox. It's a device that lets kids describe a design out loud, then instantly prints it as a sticker. It's clever, magical, and undeniable proof that AI-powered creative toys are here to stay. But here's the question: what if you took this idea and made a product that was even stickier (literally)? We think there's room to go bigger. Here's how.

The Solution:

The Idea: A voice-activated device that lets kids design and print custom temporary tattoos in seconds using AI and specialized water-transfer paper.

Product:

  • Parents purchase the device and create a family account via the companion app, setting content filters (age-appropriate designs only) and approving spending limits for paper roll refills.

  • Kids press the button and speak their idea (e.g. "a skateboarding llama wearing sunglasses") and the built-in AI generates the design in 10 seconds and previews it on the small screen for approval or regeneration.

  • Once approved, the device prints the design onto specialized skin-safe water-transfer paper (takes 15 seconds), the kid cuts it out, applies it with a damp sponge, and wears their custom creation for 2-5 days before it naturally fades.
